FastDater originated in Chicago in the spring of 2001. We received our trademark from the U.S. Trademark and Patent Office and in the 7+ years in business have grown to become the premiere leader of abbreviated dating parties. Maybe you've recently seen FastDater on national television or in print. FastDater is the nation's hottest dating event that consistently matches up singles by using a fast and fun "3 minute dating" strategy. Have you had it with blind dates? No time to sit around and wait for Mr. or Ms. Right to show up? Then FastDater is for you! Some participants have even told us it feels like you are on a game show....this is dating finally made fun!

First and foremost, Fast-Dating is a party that allows you to unwind and freely meet other great Singles who may share similar interests. Fast-Dating is also an opportunity to gather in a casual environment and engage in "one-on-one" "dates" with other Singles who, like you, may be too busy to meet great people by simply frequenting the bar scene.

Each "date" lasts 3 minutes and gives you the chance to explore the likelihood of actually connecting with that person for a "real date" when you think the time is right. The 3 minute conversation is set at a private cocktail style table that gives you the chance to get the "basics" on the person you are talking with. When it is time to switch to the next "date", all you need to do is mark your scorecard with a "yes" or "no", vote and move on. If you select someone as a "yes" and they do the same, you will be notified of this match after the event by email. Then the rest is up to you!

FastDater has been featured on several television programs including our appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. To view this clip and much more, visit our publicity page for more information.
